Morrison admits Greer equaliser flashback


Before powering Saturday's last minute winning header into the bottom corner against Huddersfield Town, Sean Morrison admits he had visions of his predecessor Gordon Greer's almost identical last gasp equaliser against Norwich City last season.

The 19-year-old match winner said: "If I'm honest before Sheens took the corner I had in my head Gordon scoring against Norwich last year, and I just got up and headed it in the corner which was brilliant.

"Everyone was excellent today and luckily I was the one who got the goal."

And Morrison was delighted to have kept another clean sheet alongside Alan Sheehan, Scott Cuthbert and Kevin Amankwaah in an increasingly solid back four.

"We trust each other, and we'd do anything to keep a clean sheet which I think is the crucial thing," he said.

"After we came off on Saturday (against Walsall), the first thing myself and Scotty said to each other was 'we've missed out on a clean sheet'.

"Even though we'd won, I think the fact that we were thinking that shows how desperate we are for clean sheets.

"Everyone works for each other to try and keep it tight and you've seen how solid we're looking so long may it continue."

All this hero worshiping is fine (I understand it is partly tongue in cheek) and fair play to big Sean, he does deserve it. It serves to illustrate perfectly though, how polarized fans' views are (and it's all fans not just Town fans) They live in a black and white world with no middle ground. A few weeks ago it was being debated whether he was good enough to even be stepping on to the pitch. Now he is being lauded as some God-like figure. The fact of the matter is, he was a damned good player a few weeks ago and he still is now...NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!

I suppose the moral of the story is, 'you are never as bad as people say you are, or as good as people say you are'.
And if you're reading this Sean, congratulations son, keep it up and all the best 'cos you need it. If you have a couple of bad games (or less) you'll be getting slated again.

P.S. I almost forgot..if/when you move to another club who 'make you an offer you can't refuse', you will be a cunt. ;)

Yes it has, he was playing well in one or two games last season then plying not so well, but the consistency has been there in the last 4 or 5 this season.

You missed the number off.

OST's basic point is bang on. Yet another reason why players should never read fans' forums - most of us don't have a damn clue what we're on about (even those of us who think we do), and virtually everyone feels full license to post shit they wouldn't dream of saying to a player's face, hence the wildly exaggerated mood swings, like a bipolar on the blob. Don't bother lads, you'll learn nothing to your advantage here.

PS I still like Greer, so nyeerrrr, Dave.

Indeed it would, but we'll get some kind of compensation if he decides to go out of contract and don't sell in Jan.

Will Evans is a centre half I believe....perhaps he's next in line.

I think Wilson and Fitton saw enough potential in Morrison that would have contributed to the decision to let Greer go. Wilson made comments at the start of the season it was time for Morrison to step up and push the first team as he liked what he seen in pre-season. They have rated Morrison for a long time and he just needed games which his Southend loan would have assisted.

Greer when he found out that a 3 year contract was on offer at Brighton was looking for the same and Fitton said he wouldn't discuss contracts until at least October. Fitton has made clear his preference for investing in young players and that a 3 year contract for a 29/30 year old central defender who was starting to show a few signs of wear wasn't in the clubs best interest.

We could have given Greer that 3 year contract and Morrison might have been pushing him within weeks and you would have had Greer stuck on a long term contract. Those sort of decisions, in the past have cost the club dear. Let's hope that Morrison goes onto the same success as another Devonian centre half with the same first name

In the last 4 or 5 games they have been pretty much perfect. Its inevitable a hickup or two will happen, every player has that. Its whether it affects them that counts. Then we'll see.

In the last 4 or 5 games they have been flawless (and I don't mean in the street dance sense).

I really hope for you lads that Morrison fulfills the potential that he has shown so far this season. To be honest we have seen less than 90 mins from Greer so far due to injuries and more recently the form of Elphick and El Abd (2 Brighton born lads) so we are reserving judgement for now.

We lose when we don't have it as well, so maybe this time it'll change!

morrison hasn't suddenly lost his potential or gone backwards.he's just not as good as some of you think he is-was...
the timing isn't great for him.the solid keeper from last year has had a dip in form and now dropped,and we are clearly lacking direction from the back.it's a big ask for a teenager to step up to that level.
it's same with throwing thompson into a struggling backline too.

Totally agree with that. As did Wilson, but unfortunately plan b went back to Millwall inured.

I think results have shown that Greer was a lot better and it was a mistake selling him,.

Such a bad bit of business, apparently been a rock at Brighton. I suppose the clean sheets speak for themselve. Our defence is comical.

So what do you do know he has scored two in three and helped us to a clean sheet last match....plan B was total shite...not the player...but the plan..........Morrison will be Swindon captain within three years if he decides to stay..

Morrison wont be here in 3 seasons.

Our defence, last game aside still hasnt been good enough no matter how many Morrison has scored.

Nobody has ever said he was shit, 1 clean sheet recently doesnt hide that fact that he will be inconsistant throughout the season at his age.

His role is as a defender so his scoring spree is a bonus but generally irrelevant.

Bullshit is it irrelevent....scoring goals is more than a bonus

I still think Morrison is great. He's definitely one of my favourite Town players.

For a defender? you dont pick a defender because he is a threat down the other of the pitch at set pieces.  You pick a defender because of his defensive attributes, any threats they add at the other end is exactly what i would class as a bonus for a defender.

Realist Dave.

He's got potential that will greatly exceed us.

No contradiction at all, our defence is a unit. Sean Morrison is one player. He could play fantastic individually every week but our defence as a unit could still be shit. Its not quite shit now, but its not great either - we all know why.

Well if you have a certain amount of defenders..all of whom are conceding as a team...for me the player who is scoring important goals...as he has done regularly would be first name down for me.

Its easy to blame the the youngest least experienced player when the going gets tough...after Austin, Morrison would be first name down on the sheet for me....makes the odd mistake like all young players...but makes up for it with scoring and more importantly his attitude which is spot on and as i say future captain material...........in my humble opinion.

Whilst im not putting the blame solely on Morrison. Scoring 5 or 6 from defence whilst conceding 15 odd goals isnt 'making up' for it.

It doesn't make up for the failures of the defense as a group but it does at least partly make up for his own mistakes.

Fair enough comment....fact is you defend as a team.
I wouldnt say that the clean sheet at Pymouth was down to Morrison....but i wouldnt say the 3-0 defeat to Charlton was down to him either.

Fuck off. thats like shooting someone in the head, then being let off because you put old peoples rubbish out. Kind of. Well not really, but my point still stands

No it isn't. If he makes a mistake that leads to a goal then scores a goal 20mins later one cancels the other out.

I agree that as a defender preventing goals is the priority but a goal scored does generally make up for one conceded. That's why it's called an equaliser.
